Introduce a way to easily add a Fingerprint to exceptions like Raven.extra_context

[parreirat]

Use case:

Am re-raising some exceptions, or explicitly raising ones, while calling

Raven.extra_context
Raven.tags_context
Raven.user_context

Have searched around and found that you can pass a fingerprint to explicitly segregate groups of exceptions on Sentry, which would be amazing to have in a use case we have.
However I could not find any way to do this through anything except capture_message or capture_exception.

Can this be added in like a Raven.fingerprint_context or similar as well?
If not, how can I currently do this?

Thanks!

any news? 👍

since the old sentry-raven gem has entered maintenance mode, we won't add this method to it.

however, if you have upgraded to the new SDK, you can do something like this:

Sentry.configure_scope do |scope|
  scope.set_fingerprint(your_fingerprint)
end # configure fingerprint globally

Sentry.capture_exception(exception)

# or 

Sentry.with_scope do |scope|
  scope.set_fingerprint(your_fingerprint) 
  Sentry.capture_exception(exception) # only applies to events sent in the block
end

(if you haven't migrated to the new SDK, here's the migration guide that will help you do that 🙂 )

I hope this comment answers your question. I'm closing this now, but feel free to open another issue if the above sample doesn't work.
